I started selling Chevys for my father's dealership in Sherburn, MN in 1981 right out of college. In 1989, we purchased the Chevy dealership in Fairmont, MN and I now run the business with my two younger brothers. Hawkins Chevrolet has been a family business since 1967. My favorite thing to do at work is sell cars and make people happy! Looking forward to earning your business.

Loved the straight-forward and honest approach of the salesman; no haggling. We were shocked by the "red-carpet" to our new vehicle; nice treat. We definately will go back here again :-) salesman; no haggling. We were shocked by the "red-carpet" to our new vehicle; nice treat. We definately will go back here again :-) More

Chris Finck was the first person my husband met when he walked in the door at Hawkins and he was very welcoming and informative, without any sales pressure. He answered questions and took the time to get walked in the door at Hawkins and he was very welcoming and informative, without any sales pressure. He answered questions and took the time to get to know what we were looking for in a Suburban. We were happy with the price we got for our 2009 trade-in and VERY happy with the price we paid for our new 2012 Suburban. Our kids love the DVD player and they all think Hawkins Chevrolet rocks, so do we. We will definately buy another vehicle from Chris Finck and Mark Hawkins. Thanks - Renae & Chris More

We ended up at Hawkins by the Grace of God--it wasn't our plan, but we are so extremely thankful for the change in "our plan". Our Hawkins Chevrolet experience was beyond pleasant...it was absolute plan, but we are so extremely thankful for the change in "our plan". Our Hawkins Chevrolet experience was beyond pleasant...it was absolutely wonderful. AND EASY! Chris Finck is forever our guy!! If ever we choose to buy again--or trade--we will go directly to Chris. I dont want to forget to mention the other friendly people at Hawkins Chevrolet. It is a team effort and they were all so good to us. Lastly, we were so happy with how fair they were in our business deal. We left feeling like we got the best deal that we could have EVER been given, and that's not always the case when you purchase a vehicle. We have done this MANY times in the past, and this last pruchase at HAWKINS CHEVROLET, FAIRMONT, was by FAR, the easiest and fastest car purchase we have ever had!! Thank you to EVERYONE at Hawkins Chevrolet, Fairmont, MN!!!(Especially Holly, Tabitha, Steve, Tom and CHRIS FINCK!!!) More

Just purchase a 1993 S10 pickup truck from Hawkins Chevrolet and it has been a great experience; they are fast to respond to any questions, unbelievable at their customer service skills. Honestly thei Chevrolet and it has been a great experience; they are fast to respond to any questions, unbelievable at their customer service skills. Honestly their best feature is that they will treat you like family; not because they want your business but because they actually care. My experience started when I emailed Tom Hawkins with regards to my truck the conversations lasted for about two weeks, during that time he answer questions with regards to shipping options and the actual condition of the truck as well as all of my concerns. Once I decided to purchase the vehicle and all of the paperwork was done; the truck was delivered at my house in Houston, Texas in only three days. Tom made all of the shipping arrangements and the truck came in safe and fast. I can truly only wonder how they would have treated me if I was a local customer. Let’s just say that If you are looking for a new car or used car, and you are close to Fairmont, Minnesota consider Hawkins Chevrolet as a place where they will take care of your needs and wants; if you are from a different city or an online shopper like I was, be ensured that they will be fair and truthful. I will keep watching their website (already have it bookmarked), I am sure they will have other cars I might be interested on in the future. More

I have been a customer at Hawkins since they came to Fairmont. My late husband and I found Tom to be honest, hard working, fair and resonable. I keep going back because they treat me like they really Fairmont. My late husband and I found Tom to be honest, hard working, fair and resonable. I keep going back because they treat me like they really care and I feel that my business is appreciated. My daughter (who lives in the Twin Cities) will be in the market for a different car in the near future and Tom has assured us that he is keeping his eyes open for a GOOD used car that can be certified (daughter cannot swing a brand new car right now). Josh and Jerry listen to my concerns and talk me through the possible/necessary service needed. My one regret is that Hawkins will no longer be a Cadillac dealer--I won't be driving to the Twin Cities just for new wheels, I'll get some other model which will take getting used to since I have been driving new Cadillacs since 1987. The service department is a part of the picture, but Tom makes buying a car personal. GM should consider themselves lucky to have a business man of Tom's caliber! More
